My problem turned out to be a worn key. One of my two original keys was worn to the point it worked the ignition, but not the doors. The other (less worn) key still worked correctly so I had a duplicate made of that key...

The next chance I get I'm putting the headliner back up...I don' think the roof rack has anything to do with it since I am parking nose up and the roof rack doesn't start for quite a ways back.Still bone dry since I've removed the headliner

Re: (sublime1970)

Thanks for the suggestion! I do usually park at an incline and notice it more often when parked there. I will start concentrating my efforts in that area. I was just about to give up and put the headliner back in....

Re: (IMakeVibes)

From the outside a little water seems to pool in that corner of the sunroof, but there is no noticeable gap or anything. From the inside it appears that the water is coming in at the seal where the sunroof meets the roof not through the sunroof.I bought the car about a year ago so I don't know much ...

Thanks for the suggestion... at this point I am not even sure where I would attempt a fix. The sunroof leak is where the sunroof meets the car roof so I don't think I can do much there. Everything else is still dry after 48 hours of rain.I am beginning to wonder if the headliner or trim I removed co...

Re: Rain Leak!!! (kdunn)

It's back.....I thought this problem was fixed, but no such luck. After dealing with drips and leaks for the last month I finally had time and reasonable weather to drop the headliner this weekend and now I can't get it to leak!A hose on the roof couldn't reproduce the leak and neither could rain th...

The power of search

I guess I should learn to use the search feature.... After finding a few related threads I went out the car to check the sunroof drains. (I didn’t even know that sunroofs had drains.) Sure enough, I saw the blade of a small maple seed sticking out of the drain hole. There was a little standing wat...

Rain Leak!!!

Arggg... that what I get for buying a used car over ebay... After the first big rain I feel a drip and notice a wet spot in the headliner in the drivers corner. I do have sunroof, but did not find any obvious wetness around the inside of it. Looking outside, the only obvious thing that looks questio...

I agree it is an odd situation. It didn't even occur to me to be something to check before buying the car. The seller is supposed to be sending a second key fob, but I am worried that if the power locks go out for some reason I won't be able to get back into the car as the only key I have is for the...

First Vibe (a couple of issues)

I just purchased my first Vibe over the weekend '04 Base w/ 127k miles. I bought it out of state over ebay and there are a couple of issues I could use advice on.1) The door locks do not match the ignition, keyless entry does work. Any suggestions on the best way to get this fixed? It does have the ...
